Fordyce castle
The small, but very attractive castle of Fordyce, is in the village of the same name, a few miles south west of Portsoy in Banffshire. It was built in the late 16th century by Thomas Menzies, with a later addition – the building to the left. The building is particularly well supplied with shot-holes, for keeping unwelcome guests at bay, some containing 3 or 4 cut through a single stone. There are 2 angle turrets, which allow defenders within, to cover all the exterior walls with musket fire.
